Chefs Palette was a surprisingly GREAT FIND! The service was top notch, and we were highly impressed with the quality of food! Samy was our server, and he was very respectful and we could tell he genuinely loves working and serving people at this restaurant. We told him this was our first visit, and everything he recommended, we tried. We were so impressed with everything!! Great recommendations for the Monday drink specials, the entrees we tried were the Shrimp and Grits which had craw fish in it and the other entree was a flounder entree. Desserts were both amazing!

We went on a Tuesday to celebrate Mother's Day. The entire experience was great. David was our server and hit all the check points, thus leaving this review. Drink refill were on point, he gave great suggestions, and was amazing with my mother with helping her pick her wine. Thank you David. More

The waitress barely came by to check on us. I had to go find her to ask for a to go box and the check. The food was pretty good. We got the pretzel appetizer. They were SO good!! I loved both the cheese and the spicy mustard dipping sauces. I would go there again just for more of those pretzels and dipping sauces!! I got the tortellini. It needed salt, but once I added the salt, it was delicious. My mom got the chicken Caesar wrap and fries. She said the wrap was too salty. I tried her fries, and they were really good. I ate a bunch of them. We went for lunch, and they had a limited lunch menu, but there were still enough tastey looking options.

This place used to be awesome but not anymore. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks, which arrived when we had already finished our appetizers. Our server apologized and took 50% off the appetizers, which was appreciated. I don't like onions, which I told our server, and asked if the deviled egg appetizer had onions or not. She promised to ask the chef and let me know, but never did. I had the flounder, which was excellent, but the risotto that comes with it is loaded with large onion chunks. Those are not mentioned on the menu, it just says herb and parmesan. I should have asked, but forgot, but since the server didn't bother getting back to me about the deviled eggs, it probably wouldn't have mattered. Of course, a good sever would have remembered I hate onions, know that the risotto was loaded with them, and advised me of that. But I guess that's asking too much. Besides that, every single table where other patrons had been sitting remained dirty during the roughly 90 minutes we were there. The restaurant is clearly understaffed at the bar, and has nobody to buss tables. The host was doing double duty, bussing only the tables that were to be reseated and none others, giving the dining area a dirty and chaotic look. It's a shame such a great place has declined. Do better, Chef's Palette. Hire more people, train them better, and list the major dish ingredients on the menu.

Enjoyed a really good dinner at Chef's Palette. This was my second visit. I had the pan seared flounder which was quite good. My wife had the filet and said it was excellent. Service was very good. Overall our dining experience was really enjoyable, but the roasted potatoes that came with the filet and the dessert - a fruit pastry with ice cream - were not quite up to the standard set by the rest of the meal.

We are so happy with the food, accommodations, and service at the Chef’s Palette! We hosted a baby shower at the event and we had a wonderful time. The food was perfect, and the service was prompt. Everybody had wonderful things to say about the venue and the food. . I, myself, I had the shrimp wrap. Most of our team ordered the basil pasta. Of course there was a large group that ordered the fish and chips! Everything was perfect. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We had a great date night here. Our server David was wonderful. Everything we ordered was delicious. The sauce from the mussels was so freaking good that I had the sauce to go and used it to make linguine at home. Cocktails were also excellent. The daily special cherry whisky sour and off-menu painkiller were my favorites. The place was hidden in a small neighborhood mall and the indoor ambiance was very intimate and romantic. We will be coming back for sure. Order type Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person USD 50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Pan Seared Flounder

It takes a lot for me to come and review a place on google, but this dining experience was worth it. In a time when dining experiences almost always seem to fall short Chef’s Palatte brought their A game! The atmosphere was amazing! The server was knowledgeable and very personable! And the food was out of this world. The drinks were phenomenal and Prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Very disappointing Valentine’s Day experience I’m not from Cary so I come here maybe 2-3 times a year from NW Raleigh. The regular menu is usually good. The Valentine’s experience was not good. 1) We had to wait for our table. Then they sat us by the bathroom. Not horrible but not a good atmosphere. 2) My filet was undercooked. I asked for medium rare. It was still moving. 3) His food was some roasted vegetables and lukewarm seafood thrown on a plate with zero presentation. 4) We had trouble getting the waiter at times. He was just too busy. He didn’t ask how things were until the very end. Then said the manager wouldn’t let him discount anything. We hadn’t asked. We just wanted someone to know how bad it was. We still tipped 10% despite the bad service. 5) With tax and tip, including one glass of wine each, it was $264 for a three course dinner. My mistake. I would come back for the regular menu, but not a special event. Price per person USD 100+ Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

First time eating here so I didn’t know what to expect. Went during lunch so it was seat yourself, however, it wasn’t long before the bartender came to greet us. She was very pleasant and accommodating. The music was great and not too loud. Everything was clean with no weird smells. The food was 10/10 must have again! I will definitely be back! Maybe for dinner next time! Price per person USD 10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Group size Suitable for all group sizes

We visited The Chef’s Palette for the first time to celebrate an anniversary. Every dish was delicious, the server - Kaylee - was kind and knowledgeable, and we had a lovely evening. I can’t believe this gem of a restaurant has been around for years and it took me so long to discover it! Can’t wait to go back.

Very good food. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A lot of diners celebrate special occasions here (birthdays, anniversaries). At peak times the service and kitchen can be slow due to being overwhelmed. There are 2 separate sides of the restaurant, a dining side and a bar side. Despite having a full bar, there are no beers on draft, which was a disapointment. Standout dishes: - Ahia Tuna Wonton appetizer - Steak Frites - Shrimp and Grits Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

My wife and I went here for our anniversary this year. They greeted us saying "Happy Anniversary!" Our table even had a little happy anniversary card on it when we were seated. They also gave us a free dessert, which was unexpected. So, they made the occasion special in that way. Our waiter was good, not great but, he did his job. Personally, I feel he could have come around a little bit more to check on us but, that's just me. Also, he didn't tell us anything about the menu in advance, like things that were not available or specials. Only after I ordered did he tell us what I had ordered was sold out. So, only a minor disappointment there. We ordered drinks from their specialty menu and they were great. Our appetizers were fantastic, although we felt there was a little too much salmon on the Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs but, still very good. However, the Seared Tuna Wontons were phenomenal. I ordered the Beef Short Rib and my wife got the Mustard Marinated Pork Tenderloin. At first, I was only slightly disappointed that there was only one, lone short rib served but, after tasting said short rib, that disappointment melted away. And much like my disappointment, the short rib and potatoes were melt in your mouth delicious and the carrots were cooked to perfection! The short rib pulled apart with very little effort and the pan jus added a rich, velvety compliment to it all. The Pork tenderloin was very well seasoned, not overpowering but also not underwhelming. My wife's only complaints were, the pork was slightly dry and the corn pudding lacked a palate pleasing flavor. Other than that, she was very pleased as well. Our complimentary dessert was a NY style cheese cake with whipped cream and a raspberry compote, which was very good as well. Although, not something to write home about. To my surprise, this little excursion didn't set us back a whole lot. It was actually very affordable, in the $150 - $200 range after tax and tip. For 2 appetizers, 3 specialty cocktails, and 2 entrées, that's not too bad in my experience. All in all, we were very pleased with our choice and experience at Chef's Palette. We would recommend and will be back to try more of their mind tingling menu items. Also, as I understand, they change their menu based on season so, we're excited to see what comes to the menu in the future. Bon appétit!

Ashley did a great job! They were able to notify us when there was a risk for allergen cross-contamination and kept everybody happy and safe. The Steak was cooked beautifully, and the brie bites went perfectly with the almonds and pepper jelly. Definitely worth a stop and we'll certainly be returning. Thanks for a great dinner!
